The nature of capitalism in its neoliberal form is decreasing higher education’s exclusive domain of knowledge production by exposing students to and exploiting local knowledge production. This has created a paradox. Experiential learning is being supported as ‘academic’ because students learn skills, values and perspectives by engaging in communities of practice. Through community service learning and social justice oriented internships, students learn about emancipatory social movements while simultaneously providing their intellectual capital. Urban Semester Program students participate in the movement for affordable housing, with its origins in post-war Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where many Puerto Ricans settled. Engaged in a struggle against displacement, for self-determination and developing community sustainability by advocating and winning low and moderate income housing, residents are determined to remain in their neighbourhood. Students are engaged in this struggle and connect this exposure to their internships, and the globalising world economy, the role of the state, and corporate power.

全球化行家的心脏中的知识生产和解放性社会运动，威廉斯堡，布鲁克林

新自由主义形式的资本主义的本质是，通过使学生接触和利用本地知识生产来减少高等教育对知识生产的专有领域。这产生了一个悖论。体验式学习被称为“学术性”，因为学生通过参与实践社区来学习技能，价值观和观点。通过社区服务学习和面向社会正义的实习，学生可以学习解放性的社会运动，同时提供智力资本。城市学期计划的学生参加了负担得起的住房运动，该运动的起源是战后威廉斯堡布鲁克林，许多波多黎各人在那里定居。从事反对流离失所的斗争，为了倡导和赢得低收入和中等收入住房，以实现自决和发展社区可持续性，居民决心留在自己的社区。学生们将参与这场斗争，并将这种接触与他们的实习，全球化的世界经济，国家的作用以及企业实力联系起来。
